was thinking that i would like to see some of my early beads and whammo, one showed up in the hands of an early customer who wanted MORE of them. She said i called it a Peacock bead. does this look familiar to anyone and does anyone remember how it is made? i probably had a tut, this was at least 3 years ago. any help will be appreciated.311487

Just a guess...light ivory base, light turquoise dots, raku dots and dark turquoise eye? I can never remember how I made something either, unless I made a boatload of them.

Aye, and shift the center of each succeeding color just a smidgeon.

Maybe you will have to rediscover it and this time take notes. :lol:


I know. I can't keep track even if you paid me!

I'd guess that there is copper green in there

just did ivory, turquoise, light multi (dark multi on other versions) got nice results but noT the bead in question. i was hoping somebody would recognize the bead and the word peacock and say, yeah! i remember that tut, it was by blah blah in the blah blah. oh well, i was holding out for santa claus and the easter bunny too. will do the drill with raku, which usually doesn't like me. i cooked the snot out of the multi's, chilled them on a really cold piece of brass a couple of times. nice results but not THE BEAD.

THERE IS AN EASTER BUNNY, SANTA AND RAKU. the secret ingredient was Raku. yayayay. it creates the concentric multi-colored circles. PHEW. interesting that 3+ years later i am way more in control of the banding and dot thing. progress, slow and steady. again thanks for all the interest and help
